In 1897 an original lighthouse was set on Punta de Tostón. Then lighthouse was raised in 1950. Finally, in 1986 the new one has been opened and managed by the Canarias authority. The current lighthouse focal height is 115 ft a.s.l. An original lighthouse keeper's house has been converted as a small local museum and a nice coffee shop. I did a light, enjoyable, but not vigorous hiking walk from El Cotillo to Tostón Lighthouse in February 2016. I passed two nice beaches. Playa El Islote and Playa el Rio. Both beaches are fantastic. Total both way distance from El Cotillo to Tostón Lighthouse is approx. 5 ml. You will need about 3 hours of enjoyable both way walk. Without a rush. This is a walk and places worth visiting....

Well, it's a lighthouse, and they're all pretty much the same, but a clear azure sky enhances its simple, functional structure. The views of the breaking surf over the volcanic rocks are breathtaking and to the north, on a clear day, the neighbouring island of Lanzarote can be seen on the horizon. Also, it's a raised fossilized hardened sandstone beach so there's a chance you might find something interesting. It's only a ten minute drive from El Cotillo, which is well worth a visit in...

Sono appena tornato dal mio viaggio a Fuerteventura e non posso fare a meno di condividere la mia esperienza straordinaria al Faro del Tostón. Questo luogo è davvero un paradiso per gli amanti del vento e delle onde, ed è stato il fulcro delle mie avventure di surf e kitesurf durante la mia vacanza.

Il Faro del Tostón è situato in una posizione mozzafiato, con una vista panoramica sull'oceano Atlantico che toglie il fiato. Il vento costante che soffia in questa zona è perfetto per praticare il surf e il kitesurf, e la sensazione di libertà che si prova mentre si cavalcano le onde è indescrivibile.

Il faro stesso è un'icona locale, un punto di riferimento storico che aggiunge fascino a questo luogo già affascinante. È un ottimo punto di partenza per escursioni a piedi lungo la costa, dove si possono scoprire paesaggi naturali straordinari e la fauna marina locale.

Il Faro del Tostón è anche ben attrezzato per i visitatori, con aree picnic e servizi igienici puliti. La gente del posto è accogliente e amichevole, e ho avuto l'opportunità di fare amicizia con alcuni appassionati di surf che mi hanno dato consigli preziosi e condiviso storie emozionanti.

In sintesi, se sei un amante del surf, del kitesurf o semplicemente desideri un luogo ventoso e bellissimo per rilassarti e ammirare la bellezza dell'oceano, il Faro del Tostón è il posto perfetto per te. Non vedo l'ora di tornare in questo angolo di paradiso e vivere nuove...

Zabytkowy, ponad stuletni latarniowiec. Miejsce zachwyca surowym, wulkanicznym krajobrazem oraz widokiem na ocean rozbijający się o czarne skały. Latarnia, z jej charakterystycznymi biało-czerwonymi pasami, jest świetnym punktem widokowym na zachody słońca i dzikie wybrzeże. Miejsce łączy w sobie piękno natury, historię oraz lokalną kulturę – obowiązkowy punkt dla każdego, kto chce poczuć prawdziwy klimat Fuerteventury.
